GMATPrep repeat questions

by iwillsurvive101 » Mon May 28, 2012 3:20 am
I took GMATPrep test1 couple of times and scored ~650 both the times. I did notice that few questions were repeated from the OG; I feel my score was inflated due to this.

I understand the OG questions are retired and never appear in the real GMAT test, but still asking for kinks -- is there any possibility of a repeat in the official test?

I have GMATPrep2 remaining, can the questions on GMPrep2 also contain repeat from GMATPrep1? I was hoping to benchmark my level accurately with GMATPrep2.

Thx

There won't be any repeats on the official tests.

There won't be any repeats on gmatprep test 2 unless you reset test 1.

The repeats do raise your score, if you get them right. I'd recommend learning from the mistakes and doing the test atleast one more time. That way you will get to see questions of 700-800 level and you'll be able to learn from them too. But, then if you think you've exhausted the old gmatprep. Download the next gen gmat prep from mba.com and try your hand on it.

Hope this helps.
